A PSA 10 currently sells for about $915.23, raw the card sits at $15.37 — 59,6× as much. Of 1.231 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $250.67 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 13 auctions the median was $11.30, across 97 fixed-price sales $18.36. Fixed price therefore fetched about 62 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $10.25 and $19.58, with a median of $14.53. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around $7.21. Offers well below $4.32 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: Italian $20.63 (13), English $15.37 (203). Italian fetches about 34 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
